Is 0.7 RMB per kilometer high fuel consumption?

No, it is not high. 10 notches of fuel. The term 'notches of fuel' refers to how many liters of fuel are consumed per 100 kilometers. Multiplying this number by the price of fuel gives the fuel cost for 100 kilometers. Below is relevant information: Gasoline: Gasoline is a transparent, flammable liquid with a distillation range of 30°C to 220°C. Its main components are C5 to C12 aliphatic hydrocarbons and cycloalkanes, along with a certain amount of aromatic hydrocarbons. Gasoline has a high octane number for anti-knock combustion performance and is classified into grades such as 89, 90, 92, 93, 95, 97, and 98 based on octane ratings. Starting from January 2012, the gasoline grades 90, 93, and 97 were revised to 89, 92, and 95. Gasoline Composition: Gasoline is produced by refining different gasoline components obtained from petroleum refining, such as straight-run gasoline, catalytic cracking gasoline, and catalytic reforming gasoline, and blending them with high-octane components. It is primarily used as fuel for spark-ignition internal combustion engines in automobiles.
As a veteran driver of a compact family car, I think this issue depends on context. Firstly, 0.7 RMB per kilometer roughly translates to 8-9L per 100km (assuming 8 RMB/liter fuel price), which isn't particularly high for an average sedan - my own car consumes about this much in city driving. However, for smaller displacement vehicles below 1.5L or hybrids, this might be slightly high. Another factor is fuel price fluctuation - this consumption is normal when 92-octane gas costs around 7 RMB, but would become expensive if prices rise to 9 RMB. Recently doing more highway driving, I've found maintaining steady speed can reduce consumption to 0.5-0.6 RMB/km, unlike stop-and-go city traffic. I'd recommend checking basic maintenance items like tire pressure and air filters - fuel efficiency starts with regular upkeep.
